I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188: Chapter 110 Her Majesty the Empress, You Wouldn’t Want Your Sister to Find Out, Would You?_2

Seeing that handsome face so close at hand, the Empress’ eyes carried a complexity.

Although this little thief was presumptuous and disrespectful, bold and reckless, he had achieved remarkable feats time and again, even curing the Chill Toxin that left the Imperial Hospital at a loss!

It made it impossible to hate him...

Upon hearing Lady Jinyun mention support for their "romance," the Empress cast a faint glance at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo timely said: "Ahem, Your Highness knows, I prefer mature ones."

"..."

Feeling the increasingly obvious changes behind her, the Empress’ cheeks turned crimson, and she spat inwardly.

There’s no need to prove it so eagerly!

Peering through the gap in the wardrobe, Chen Mo looked at the mother and daughter, tears welling like pear blossoms in the rain, then remembered the feel of Little Grapefruit’s hand and mumbled to himself:

Hand-ripened, that should count as mature, right?

...

Thud thud thud——

At this moment, a knock sounded on the door, and the butler’s voice came from outside:

"Madam, the banquet is ready."

"Got it."

Lady Jinyun rose to her feet and said, "I’ll go get things ready. You go find Chen Mo, see if he got lost, why is he taking so long just to use the bathroom..."

Lin Jingzhu was suddenly startled. She had been so emotionally stirred just now that she almost forgot there were two people hidden in the wardrobe!

After sending Lady Jinyun out, she quickly walked to the wardrobe and pulled the doors open.

"Aunt, Mr. Chen, please come out quickly."

The two emerged from the wardrobe one after the other.

The Empress straightened her garments, her demeanor calm, showing none of the embarrassment from moments before, and said lightly: "I hope no one knows what happened here, understand?"

Chen Mo bowed his head and responded, "Today, I did not see Your Highness."

The Empress’s phoenix eyes glanced at Lin Jingzhu. Lin Jingzhu realized and hastily said, "Today, I, too, did not see Aunt."

The Empress nodded in satisfaction, just about to leave, when she suddenly remembered that her cloak had been taken by Lady Jinyun, and the qipao she was wearing was not suitable for seeing people...

At this moment, Chen Mo produced from who-knows-where a black robe and draped it gently over her.

"This robe is new, I have never worn it; Your Highness, please make do with it for now."

"Mhm."

The Empress tightened the draped garment, opened the door a crack to peek out, and only after ensuring that Lady Jinyun was not nearby did she step out of the room.

Walking along the cobblestone path, she made her way to the front courtyard.

Sun Senior Palace Lady, waiting at the gate, was stunned upon seeing her.

"Your Highness? Why did you change your clothes?"

"...Ahem, we’ll talk about that later, let’s hurry on our way."

"Yes."

...

The banquet at the Lin Residence was sumptuous.

The banquet hall was brilliantly lit, with several blackwood round tables laid out, each covered with lake-blue brocade tablecloths, and the maids lined up in a long procession, carrying one rich dish after another.

A feast of eight treasures and an array of both land and sea delicacies, complete in color, aroma, and taste.
